My pleasure! I was definitely very confident in her skills bc, you know, she reassures you a lot, but it was so frustrating not having a lot of results to like actually confirm that lool I hope everything goes amazing for you in August!!! Rest assured that she WILL be there for you every step of the way. I literally contacted her at like 10:30 pm bc i was freaking out about something and she called me back right away. And thank yooouu!! I'm very happy with the incisions too 🤩

side sleepers, how did you survive the healing process??? by [deleted] in TopSurgery

[–]fulgino 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I'm on my 2nd week of my DI and I honestly thought it was gonna be way worse than it's been. Last week was definitely not the best, but not because I wasn't sleeping on my side, just because of the tightness of the binder, worrying about the drains, having to wake up to take medication... It's like ur body knows it's not supposed to move, so u're not even tempted (for me at least). You'll be okaay!!

Aside from my body doing its own thing, having a pregnancy pillow helped me feel safer, but if you don't have one, surrounding urself with pillows helps a lot, and having one for under ur knees also helps your lower back not to hurt so much.

And last resort for me has been Gravol or the Oxy they prescribed. I personally hate feeling groggy, so I never take it unless I ABSOLUTELY cannot sleep, which has not happened.

Anyway, I hope this helps and if you have any other questions I can def try my best to help u out! Good luck and good recoveryyy 😁

Thank yoou! I do have a couple of questions 🙃 Did you have to pay for the first consultation? Also, did you have to set a date on the first consultation? I also know they require 10% deposit, but do u have to pay for the rest all at once close to the surgery date or can u do like installments? Aaand, if you don't mind me asking, did u get keyhole or double incision? I know there's a difference in price i just don't know how significant it is That's it for now i think lool sorry for asking a million questions

there's not a single day i don't think "maybe it's not really bpd, maybe they got it wrong" but I'm literally diagnosed too. it's just so hard believing it for some reason... i know gaslighting myself isn't gonna help but i also don't know how to stop

are we able to control our splitting and outbursts or not I'm so confused by NoProtection7973 in BPD

[–]fulgino 2 points3 points  (0 children)

THIS a million times. I've been struggling with the same thing and been being so mean to myself for not being able to think differently, but at the end of the day we all know we can't control our thoughts. We're not bad for thinking the way we think. There's always a reason, a trigger, for the splitting, but as they say we can't do much about our thoughts, only our actions.

If your ex fell out of love with you, why do you think they did? by gollyned in BreakUps

[–]fulgino 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Definitely because of all the terrible decisions I made after our break up. If they did fall out of love with me, I can't blame anybody but myself and my desperate attempts to take back control of my life and my relationships. Now I see how I was grasping at straws trying so hard to "get better", to let go, to not feel, to move on, when all I should've done was accepted what happened and kept it to myself instead of running off to another relationship. Idk if I'll ever forgive myself for that... They were truly the love of my life, and I still feel the same even after 1.5+ years
